NO NO, Greenline does NOT suffer the same dimensional instability as wood!

If any thing what I and others have experienced (only a fraction of the what wood goes through) is due to plain old physics: as a material is heated, it will expand (and the inverse is true). The same applies to gold, gas, lead, hard rubber..........anything, because you excite the atoms and molecules and the result is that the constituent parts become more active and spread apart.



The dimensional instability that is most distressing about wood is that it "settles." The exact dimensions (size AND shape) can be perturbed AFTER the final touches at the factory. This is less so the more stable (aged, treated) the wood is that is used, but is always a possibility. It is the irregularities of these critical dimensions that lead to more irregularities in the pitch from note to note. This is probably why manufacturers that have to crank out a large number of horns per year have more "hit or miss" results with their horns (who has time to cure wood when it hard enough to to even get enough of the building material in the first place).
